I remember this time of year is graduation for high school students and every other students. It makes me remember my own. A hot summer day with my mother and brother. The memory of them reminding me of my brother's job and how they might not stay till the end. I remember thinking of over four hundred students and how my name is so close to the letter 'z'.

As I walked closer and closer to the stage, I broke out into a grin. OMG, I thought as I looked around. Why is nobody smiling? It was probably the gloomest graduation of the year. Everyone looked so stern. I felt embarrassed being the only idiot who was grinning like no tomorrow.

Oh, we also had rules. No bringing food or other items that is detectable by the metal detector. It will probably be confiscated and you will probably being arrested.

No jeans. Guys wear formal clothing. Girls wear nothing that stretches above the thigh. Imagine if that sentence ended at nothing.

The most important rule is DO NOT THROW YOUR GRADUATION CAP. It will get lost. You will never being able to find it because somebody probably took it. You will cry and beg and there will be nothing we can do about it.

The principal sure looked mad when we did throw it. For appearance sake, he smiled and shook it off. Yeah, right. Some people were able to catch their own cap, some people did not. The guy next to be reached up and came back with three hats. Obviously one of them was his. One of the two was from a guy two rows in front of us. Ha ha.

Well, it was a fun graduation. Hope you have a good one too.
